Direct Survey Solutions I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT AND ...

Sorry, it seems you were defrauded. 

I agree you are probably out of luck. I really am sorry for you. People who pray on others are the lowest of the low. Good luck in the future.

Don't feel bad, I fell for it too. Same company. Mine was for a $1000. Walmart gift card. I completed 13 offers exactly as they stated. I have even saved all of the EULA's and "Gift Rules" that they had published. They even responded to 2 of my emails, but I do  not expect to hear from them again or ever receive the gift card. I knew I was taking a risk when I did it, but it is still disappointing and frustrating.

Hello,

I am greatly sorry about your negative experience.  Please know that not all gift programs are scams, it's just weasels like these that put them in a bad light.  You are right.  They ARE a scam, because I know two people personally that they did not pay.  I would like to stop them in their tracks.  Unfortunately, I cannot contact you as it shows you have no profile.  But my e-mail is: diyfreebies@gmail.com if you wish to discuss this matter.  I'm always on the prowl for scammers, and will not hesitate to take action. 

Regards,

I can say direct survey solutions sent me an illegal spam to try to lure me into their scams.  the subject of the spam was This DellXPS Package could not be sent - Complete Steps Now
The advertiser had an unsubscribe address in Boca Raton, FL, and the unsubscribe link took me to an unlabeled unsubscribe page that showed: better-gifts.net - unsubscribe.  better-gifts.net was registered under Direct Survey Solutions.com (registrar was Dynamic Dolphin), which had a Vancouver address. 

Seems RewardsCenter.net may be the same thing as Direct Survey Solutions?  And it ties into a Chicago address?  What's with all the names and addresses?  Confusing?  Anybody know if Direct Survey Solutions has both a Vancouver and a Boca Raton FL address?  Anybody know if Direct Survey solutions is part of or an affiliate of one of the other incentive companies living in that part of Florida?

I know the email was sent illegally to me because the source that provided my address was instructed, and said that they complied, to not send me any emails or share my email with anyone else.  Now, we see the topic of the email, a lure to get this laptop, is most likely a scam.  Not surprisingly as so many of us get so many of these things as the marketers have a heyday with our private information and email addresses. 

Also, I think everyone should fill out a complaint here if you haven't done so already: http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx 

The more people that chime in with similar complaints will raise their suspicion, too!  What RewardStream did is fraud, and those in power should know about it.  I'm contacting everyone I can possibly think of to get the ball rolling.  Hopefully we can stop them.

yes, same thing happened to me.  I in good faith fulfilled two promotions, then it asked me to do 13 more.  I can't find a phone number or address where to send my receipts.  I found your post searching for them...

can this really go unpunished, or is it a case of buyer be ware and shame on us???

This place also rip me off.  So I dig around and found these info.
